Dirty Window & Dirty Laundry, A Story About Judging Others


Dirty Window & Dirty Laundry
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning, while they are eating breakfast,
the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very clean, she said,
she doesn’t know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised
to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
Look! She has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this.
The husband said:
I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!
And so it is with life:                                  
What we see when watching others,
depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Before we give any criticism,
it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves
if we are ready to see the good
rather than to be looking for something in the person
we are about to judge.
::If our windows are dirty so will we see others as dirty too::
